What a historic day of double delight for Indian chess at the 46th Chess Olympiad in Samarkand!
India has won a slew of board medals, including Gold for B. Savitha, Divya Deshmukh and D. Gukesh, while Vantika Agrawal, Koneru Humpy and R. Praggnanandhaa brought home Silver and Bronze medals respectively.
Our chess prodigies have brought home Silver in the Open Team event and Bronze in the Women’s Team as well.
And there is more! India has once again retained the prestigious Nona Gaprindashvili Trophy at the Chess Olympiad, reaffirming Bharat’s position at the very top of world chess.

Great initiative by AICF President Nitin Narang sir. Supporting young talents and empowering the future of Indian chess. This initiative is a game changer for the aspiring players.🙏🙏
For the first time in the history of Indian Chess, quarterly stipends ranging from ₹60,000 to ₹1,50,000, totalling ₹42,30,000 for the first quarter of 2025, have been disbursed to 42 top players across the U-7 to U-19 categories (both open and girls), based on their performance in last year’s nationals. This is part of a total outlay of ₹6,15,60,000 under this scheme.
These stipends will support players’ coaching and travel needs, enabling them to compete globally and pursue higher goals with confidence.
Taking inspiration from Aadarniya PM Shri @narendramodi ji’s call to empower athletes at the grassroots, the All India Chess Federation has moved from vision to delivery.
This marks the implementation of a key component of the national chess development blueprint I presented as President of AICF designed to nurture talent and create robust support systems.
Together, we are building the foundation for a new era of Indian chess.
